Harvey Weinstein Fired From The Weinstein Company
The Wrap ^ | 8 Oct 17 | Sharon Waxman

Posted on 10/08/2017 4:31:07 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced cofounder and CEO of The Weinstein Company, has been fired effective immediately, his board of directors said on Sunday.

The statement said:

“In light of new information about misconduct by Harvey Weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of The Weinstein Company – Robert Weinstein, Lance Maerov, Richard Koenigsberg and Tarak Ben Ammar – have determined, and have informed Harvey Weinstein, that his employment with The Weinstein Company is terminated, effective immediately.”

The company has been under intense pressure since The New York Times broke an investigative story on Thursday detailing three decades of sexual misconduct, including propositioning actresses and harrassing female employees. More ugly stories continued to dribble out over the weekend, including a vulgar report by a news anchor that Weinstein masturbated in front of her and other stories of inappropriate propositions.

I never even heard of this guy until the past few days. After a little research, I guess he was a bigwig movie producer who in recent years has been running his own production company along with the likes of Quentin Tarantino.

Anyway, as he's a diehard liberal Democrat and a big donor to the Democrat party, I'm surprised that the Democrats are tossing him overboard like this. Usually they circle the wagons when one of their own gets caught up in sexual misbehavior and crimes against women.

Finally, am I imagining things or does this guy bear a physical resemblance to Larry Flynt, the pornographer?

If Weinstein involved the company, its personnel and/or its money in any of his wrongdoing, the company is still toast.

Light weight officially. Lots under the table I suspect.

His donations:

Why NOW? He made somebody mad. Who?
Can someone tell me why this has flared up right now?
And by whose efforts? I don’t know who, but some one is going to benefit by Harvey’s wings getting clipped.
Most likely a competitor. Producing movies is not like being a doctor, where you need to be licensed. I predict, this man will start another company after a few uneventful months.
It would be very easy for him to do.

This is smoke and mirrors.

A PSYOP run by PR men.

90 days in a sex rehab and he will be back in business, and anybody stupid enough to have piled on will be destroyed.

That ‘it’s only sex’ was incredible, but successful, spinning. Clinton’s legal problem came down to lying under oath before a federal judge.

It may be because he hit on her that all of this is being brought forward. Dad’s revenge.

If SNL was still about comedy rather than Democrat party propaganda, no doubt that this skid would write itself!

But, who would SNL have play Chuck Woolery? That's a real question.

"Let's introduce the bachelors" (i.e. those who think of themselves as such according to PC language rules):

"Bachelor #1's idea of a perfect 1st date is relaxing at the office enjoying delivery pizza, a cigar and making a very personal stain on your tight little blue dress."

"Bachelor #2 likes to keep in touch and will repeatedly texting you photos of the physical feature from which his family name derives."

"Bachelor #3 says his secret to winning over a girl is to take her to a fancy restaurant and let her watch him stroking his meat in the hall. Creamy white salad dressing anyone?"

He was shielded for decades. It makes me wonder who he finally pissed off.

Foxnews says he is suing the NYT for $50 million in damages. Purely for theater. Discovery will uncover much more than he wants uncovered.

The world turned on Harvey at about the exact moment he started to run a little low on dough.

That guy is proof these skanks will jump on anything as long as enough cash/fame is involved.

They JUST LEARNED, huh...?

Now THAT is a whopper..!

They were FIIIINE with all this, it was prolly MOST of their company gossip..?

It was only a problem when the PUBLIC found out, THEN they were really concerned.
